AA,
Insha’Allah, the first day of
Ramadan will begin on Friday, July 20, 2012 and Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, August
19, 2012 per the announcement from ISNA.
On the left Panel of
this blog - http://Ramadanexclusive.blogspot.com, you can read the politics,
spirituality and the traditions of Ramadan, that I have been blessed to get published
in Washington Post and Huffington post News papers.
An article called
"Ramadan daily" will be added to the panel on the left, listing a
typical day from Sahri/ Suhoor to Iftaar and Taraweeh. Please remember we are
not a monolithic lot, each denomination has a slightly different practice and
we have to honor them, rather than show disrespect.
In Dallas, this will
be our third year to celebrate unity with the given diversity. The Muslims who
are not stuck up, and are above the denominations are asked to do the Iftaar in
a Masjid a day or welcome to join me and ride with me to different Masajid’s. A
full Iftaar schedule will also be published. We have about 30 in the area, and
Insha Allah, we will do most of them. The Masajid’s include Ahmadiyya, Bohra,
Ismaili, Shia, Sufi, Sunni, WD Muhammad and other traditions.
We kiss ass with
every religious traditions and invite Jews, Christians and others to do the Iftaar,
but when it comes to fellow Muslims, we tend to be petty and small. We need to
grow up and show the bigness of our heart to all; Muslims and non Muslims
alike.
Each one can prepare
his or her own schedule, but I will prepare one for the full month and invite
everyone to join me. Change will come when we mean it and take the action
- The change is for Muslims to get along and show solidarity with each other
for doing good things, despite the differences. If we cannot do it, here, then
don’t expect this to happen elsewhere in the world.
Jazak
Allah Khair

I am committed
to do my individual share of building cohesive Muslim societies. What is good
for Muslims has got to be good for others and vice-versa to sustain it. The
role of a Muslim is to mitigate conflicts and nurture goodwill, you will find
that in almost every act of the prophet. Check out www.TheGhousediary.com for my daily
articles or other blogs and sites listed there.
Thank you.
